Body Wave 2

Friday, February 7, 2014@ Artshare LA

Wasteland’s inaugural concert, Identity Resection, presents music of physical procedures and hidden identities. New and recent works by Iturralde, Eaton, McCallum, and Thorvaldsdottir reframe the identities of the voices and instruments for which these pieces are composed. McCallum pushes the trombone/trombonist to the limits of its/his physical ability mechanizing the human and humanizing the machine and Thorvaldsdottir redefines the use of the piano to reveal and magnify the sounds buried inside of the instrument. Iturralde amplifies, dramatizes, and manipulates the extremes of a soprano’s breath control and Eaton slowly builds a pulsing harmony, surrounding the audience in its resonant ambiance.

Tickets are $10 at the door.
Reception to follow.

Concert of New Works

I have a composition I am performing called "Body Wave".
•Daniel Eaton: Body Wave
A new composition for amplified trombone, objects, laptop, and customized multi-speaker array. Body Wave utilizes a room's acoustics and physical attributes in a choreographed dance of pulsing frequencies and sonic gesticulation.
•Georgia Bell: Mouthfeel, Earfeel
This arrangement of a classic french pop song pushes the meaning behind language into the background and brings its auditory nuances and cadence into the foreground. Voice: Argenta Walther, Jess Basta, Georgia Bell
•Jacob Rosenzweig: STARE AT THE SUN UNTIL YOU SEE NOTHING
STARE AT THE SUN UNTIL YOU SEE NOTHING is a hypnotic and meditative long-form drone piece featuring a triple double-bass section plus bassoon and two trombones. Basses: Brendan Carn, James Klopfleisch, Jacob Rosenzweig; Bassoon: Archie Carey; Trombones: Matt Barbier, Daniel Eaton

Clinic/Performance-Interface and Improvisation

GRAMPUS will be doing a one hour clinic/lecture on our performance practice involving interface and improvisation. This clinic will be for the composition faculty and student body. This is located at the Bob Cole Conservatory of music. 10$ admission.
Following the clinic there will be a 30 minute to 1 hour performance.

Experimental Sound Design Lecture/Clinic

Giving a two hour lecture on experimental sound design using Logic Pro at the Riverside Art Museum.
Day two consists of a live performance with Phillip Mantione, David Casey, and Glen Bach.
I will also be showing a few clips of previous sound designed films in conjunction with the lecture.

Autry Overlook is a multichannel sound piece for two car stereo systems. Mantione and Eaton will compose music separately based on a predefined form and structure. As the piece unfolds, new textures will emerge as the synchronization between vehicles begins to shift. Cars will be periodically repositioned, and doors, windows and trunk lids reconfigured to create new sonic relationships. Viewers will be encouraged to move around the space for a multifaceted experience.

A companion piece called Passersby, will document the anonymous and random comments, sounds, and/or sonic instigations of visitors. These recordings will be used for future sound works by both Eaton and Mantione.

Confronting the Beast: A Prologue @ Febuarfest in Val Verde CA

Sunday, February 13, 2011@ Val Verde CA

A work for trombone, laptop, tuned drum, and puppet effigy. Meant as a prologue to the installation “A Dream Adventure”, an effigy was lowered 100 ft from a hillside by a pulley system as harmonics generated with the trombone via laptop were stacked upon each other. The percussionist(Sean Woodman) was asked to play processionally on a drum tuned to the fundamental frequency. The effigy was part of an installation for the Februarfest in Val Verde created by Kristin Haroldsdottir, where viewers were asked to feed the effigy personal problems and/or fears with pen and paper. The conclusion of the performance ended in a mock sacrifice(Robert Holiday) of the effigy. This work explored the notion of ritual and shared personal conflict.
